This standard specifies a general laboratory test method for determination of area specific emission rate of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from newly produced building products under defined climate conditions. This method can also, in principle, be applied to aged products. The emission data obtained can be used to calculate concentrations in a model room. According to the definition of an emission test cell, it is also possible to perform non-destructive emission measurements on building products on-site in buildings. However, the procedure for such measurements is not described in this standard.
